Delfos books Derby ticket

Delfos and Olivier Peslier ran out victorious in the Group Three Prix La Force at Saint-Cloud today.

The lightly-raced Green Tune colt had two and a half lengths to spare over Young Tiger, with odds-on favourite Kurm the same distance back in third.

Trainer Carlos Laffon-Parias will be hoping Delfos can emulate the Michael Jarvis-trained Holding Court, who took this when it was run at Longchamp in 2000 en route to a runaway victory in the Prix du Jockey-Club.
